Risk assesment

[emrowland]

Hi dont mean to sound dim but I am a new childminder and need a bit of help with risk assesments for outings, I have been sat for over an hour trying to think of hazards in a soft play area but can only think of 1 any ideas would be appriciated x

Can they leave the building,
Cafe and hot drinks,
Toilets,
Car park
How will you get there,

Cant think of any others at the moment

Start with the journey there (walk, public transport, car), once inside
watching children can you watch them all at once, have you got different ages or can you keep them all in one area to play,
children climbing and falling,
bumps with other children,
access to outside (can children get out),
crowds ( children not finding you),
do they have tea, coffee (children knocking into tables,burns etc).

Don't forget friction burns.

Could you ask the Soft Play area for a copy of their RA? I have a copy of our local one, but not sure if that's because we are good friends or because a childminder can have a copy (if you get me!). x
